Alumni houses and centers can seem like mysterious, stately structures to students and others crisscrossing campus. These buildings are usually constructed to serve alumni first and foremost, but by also allowing access to students, other campus departments and offices, and the community at large, alumni associations can bring these buildings to life and cement relationships with different important constituents. Most alumni centers are built to host alumni events, offer alumni services, and possibly house alumni staff offices, but many also serve the broader campus community. In addition to providing event space for alumni gatherings and institutional functions, alumni centers often help connect institutions to their outside communities. Whether an alumni house is newly constructed or has been a part of the campus for a very long time, the goal is to make it a place that evokes fond memories for alumni. In this article, the author discusses how to make the most of an alumni center.
